I just use the tail screws to hold and align, then glue with some epoxy. Put battery under fuel tank. I also glue the wings together. Aluminum Spinner and CG comes in about right, they seem to fly a little nose heavy with a 46. I use Sullivan tail wheel. The plane is pretty well behaved but does have a tendancy to come in little hot on landings. Needs rudder on roll. Need good amount of elevator to get slow down for landing.
Hope that helps.
